From the State Party

All signs indicate the incredible grassroots enthusiasm that we have seen over the last few months will continue all the way to the State Convention and beyond. The TDP's reserved block of over 2000 hotel rooms sold out in less than 48 hours as Delegates and Alternates from all across Texas made their arrangements to come to Austin. The TDP is working to secure additional rooms, but if you are a Delegate or Alternate looking to book accommodations in Austin, we recommend you use a site such as Expedia, Travelocity, or Hotels.com.

The State Convention is where Texas' delegation to the Democratic National Convention will be selected. If you are interested in being a Delegate or Alternate to the National Convention to nominate the next President of the United States, you need to declare your candidacy by downloading this form, filling it out, and delivering it to the TDP between April 21st and May 21st. You do not even need to be a delegate to the State Convention to be a candidate.

The State Convention will be an exciting event, but Democratic victories aren't won in a convention center, they are won block-by-block, neighborhood-by-neighborhood, over the long months between now and November. Whether or not you're a delegate, we need you to help elect Democrats and move Texas forward by becoming a TDP Neighborhood Volunteer.

Neighborhood Volunteers are in charge of reaching out to 25 voters in their area. You will contact them at least three times between now and Election Day, listen to the issues that are important to them, explain how our Democratic candidates can bring about the change we need, and then make sure they come to the polls in November. Over 800 Texans have already signed up to become Neighborhood Volunteers, because they understand that there is no better way to make a difference in 2008.

Please become a Neighborhood Volunteer today. I know that working together, we can take Texas back.

Your friend and fellow Democrat,

Boyd L. Richie
